Rye hopes Rickey’s dreams are projections of who will be elected. She then spoke about how she’s watched people put fear inside of voters. Having several Black candidates on ballots Rye said makes them, “Big mad.” Rye also spoke about Brian Kempand how he’s purging voters out the system because their names don’t exactly match.

We shouldn’t fear voting and Rye said,”Don’t let anyone take your power away.” If you dislike what the Trump administration is doing you have the opportunity to change it. Show them that we have power and we can show up by voting.

7. Blame in on Trump

I think for what is going on with this administration and all of the racist people out there and many incidents that people have encounter due to racism Megyn Kelly just open another can of worms with her comment. pic.twitter.com/ED9asvHPEF

8. This is par for the course for Megyn Kelly

1. Going back to her days at Fox News Megyn Kelly has had a history of being racially/culturally incompetent and unaware 2. Keep in mind NBC dumped the 9am hr of The Today show hosted by Tamron Hall and Al Roker in favor Megyn Kelly and this kind of foolishness and ignorance. https://t.co/cURaIxZyPh

10. The apologetic Black person chimes in

I love Megyn Kelly!!! As a black man it’s embarrassing how sensitive black ppl are. If a white person wants to be a black celebrity on Halloween, how can they do so without changing skin tone??? Just stop with the fake outrage and lighten up (pun intended) pic.twitter.com/wq3hF0LLSo

12. Megyn Kelly: White people are “normal people”

Megyn Kelly can't understand what's so offensive about blackface then says: "I can't keep up with the number of people we're offending just by being, like, normal people."@megynkelly: 1. You've never been black 2. This isn't "normal," it's white privilege and it's embarrassing. pic.twitter.com/tHPjulPZ1P

13. Black folks’ collective side-eye

14. A history lesson

Megyn Kelly proudly bared her ignorance of social norms by unabashedly wondering what exactly was so wrong with Blackface. Especially on Halloween, she argued on her NBC talk show Tuesday morning.
What is racist?” she asked somewhat rhetorically when she and the other white people on her panel were inexplicably charged with deciding what is and isn’t offensive to Black people. “When I was a kid, that was OK, so long as you were dressing up as a character.”

We won’t even get into how NBC canceled a morning show hosted by Tamron Hall and Al Roker so that the network could reward Kelly with a $69 million contract that has resulted in low ratings. Chances are, had Tamron and Al been at the helm moderating the same discussion, things wouldn’t have gone left so quickly, or at all. Regret has grown over the decision to let Tamron Hall go; it probably grew a bit more on Tuesday, too. But we digress…
To be clear, blackface has its roots firmly planted in American racism, including and especially minstrel shows back in the 19th century that featured white actors who painted their faces black to act like slaves and newly freed Black people. It was these minstrel shows that largely contributed to the many negative, racial stereotypes that have been associated with Black people for well over a century.
Of course, no one on the panel tried to correct her, leaving her virtually unchecked for being so wildly inaccurate on such a well-documented topic. So social media users took it upon themselves to educate Megyn Kely about the errors of her apparently oblivious ways.
Below is but a brief sampling of the chorus of sarcastic responses that resonated across the Twittersphere.
